  • Stir together the flour,baking powder and salt...set it aside for a bit.
  • Beat sugar and butter at medium speed,scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally,until creamy.
  • Add 1 egg at a time...beat well after each addition.
  • Add vanilla.
  • Reduce speed to low.
  • Add flour mixture alternately with milk,beating well after each addition...just until mixed.
  • Divide the butter batter evenly between the prepared pans.
  • Bake for about 34 minutes at 350 degrees,or until a pick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Cool on racks for 10 minutes.
  • Loosen edge by running knife around inside edge.
  • Carefully...remove cake from pans...cool completely.
  • ~ For the Fill In ~
  • Mix sugar,flour,salt...slowly stir in milk.
  • Cook and stir till it boils and thickens..then cook 2 more minutes longer.
  • Stir a bit of the hot mixture into eggs,then stir into remaining hot mixture.
  • Stirring this all the while...Bring just to the boiling point,and add the vanilla,butter...stir...cool.
  • ~ For The Topper ~
  • Beat the butter until fluffy,about 30 seconds.
  • Stop the machine and add the confectioner's sugar,milk,and vanilla.
  • Blend on low until the sugar is incorporated,about 1 minute.
  • Increase the speed and beat until light and fluffy,about 1 minute.
  • If the frosting seems to stiff,you may need to add a bit more milk...other then that...you're pretty much ready to go... and frost your Buttercup cake,on the top and sides,after it has had the filling placed in between the two.
  • ~ Now... you have two ways to go here: One...A tall glass of cold healthy calcuim enriched milk,or...Two...A cup of Steaming Hot Jet Fueled Caffeine Laden Coffee,cream and sugar,of course.~
